Tofty
Experience the ultimate in soft texture and style with our Cozy Knit Beanie featuring an adorable pompom. This delightful accessory is perfect for knitters of all skill levels—because, really, can a knitter want more than the joy of creating with such cozy materials?
Size: One size fits most, designed to comfortably fit a head circumference of 54-56 cm / 21-22 inches. The length from the brim to the top is approximately 24 cm / 9.5 inches, making it the perfect slouchy fit.
Yarn: You will need just 1 skein of TOFT DK yarn, which is a luxurious blend made from 100% wool. Each skein contains 225 meters (246 yards) per 100 grams, and this pattern is beautifully showcased in the stunning color 11120 Silver. This yarn is both soft and warm, making it ideal for chilly days.
Needles: For this beanie, use 4.0 mm (US #6) needles or another size that meets your gauge. You'll need a 40 cm / 16-inch circular needle and/or double-pointed needles (dpns), or a long circular needle for the magic loop method. Additionally, a smaller gauge needle at 3.5 mm (US #4)—which is two sizes smaller than your main gauge needles—is required for the ribbing. Again, a 40 cm / 16-inch circular needle, dpns, or a long circular needle works well for this part.
Other Tools: To complete your project, you'll need a stitch marker, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, waste yarn for the Tubular Cast-On technique, and optional but highly recommended, a pompom maker to create that fabulous finishing touch!
Gauge: The ideal gauge for this Cozy Knit Beanie is 22 stitches and 32 rows over a 10 cm / 4-inch square, worked in the round using 4.0 mm (US #6) needles. Always take the time to check your gauge; adjusting your needle size may be necessary to achieve the correct gauge. This ensures a perfectly fitting beanie that will keep you warm and stylish.
Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this pattern is sure to add a lovely handmade touch to your winter wardrobe or make a thoughtful gift for a loved one. Dive into your yarn stash and get knitting today!
